Hmm.. Decisions, decisions!
Also the last year of the 409. good luck finding one of those. 427 or similar is a better engine but cool factor 409 hands down. Your car is so cool a 327
would not bring it down

ps went from 283 to 427 in a 67 El Camino and it drove great. Never felt I needed to do anything else.
